PUBLIC MEETING IN WARD 3.

many NlSllOIo NclS plNocHt rum
other Wards.
The permanent chairman of the
Ward Club, w. Hill, presided, and
explained that the special object of
the gathering was to meet the candi-
dates on the Reform ticket for Re-
representatives., and hear what they
had to say for themselves and that
in addition to those gentlemen
speeches would be delivered by
others, both residents of that Ward
and visitors from other Wards. En-
phasis was laid on the Importance
Of avoiding long speeches: "short
and to the point" was the motto.
Mr.. Frank Hustace, candidate on
the Representative ticket, was the
first called upon, and said that he
had been requested to show himself
to the people. If elected he would
do what is right. The new Consti-
tuition and the platform of the Reform
party were for the good of all, and
he would do what he believed was
right for the Hawaians and the
foreigners alike.
Mr.. A. p. Kalaukoa, on the same
ticket, expressed his intention to
say but little, other than simply
letting the audience hear the sound
of his voice. His platform was the
one adopted by the Convention-for
good Government and for the in
terest of the country. He loved his
country, and would do all in his
power to benefit it.
Mr.. Naone, on the same ticket,
declared his platform to be the same
as that adopted by the Convention,
and if elected to the Legislature he
would go pledged to that platform.
Reform was not only for the good of
the white man, but for the benefit
Of all.
To allow the fourth candidate,
who had just arrived at this stage,
to recover breath, the Chairman
called upon Mr.. Odenstein, who now
belongs to Ward 3, but was formerly
a resident of Ward 3.
Mr.. Ordenstein did not think it
fair that he should be required to
talk when others present were more
capable than he. However, he was
not going to be backward or bashful.
Reformation had commenced, and
it must be carried forward. The
elections of the 18th instant would
decide whether we are to advance
or slide back. He was intimately
identified with the country in hav-
ing married a native of the soil and
had two fine, healthy boys, also
natives. He was therefore specially
interested in the country, and threW
himself heart and soul into the
reform movement, knowing that it
was for the good of the Hawaiian.
The new Constitution and the
pledges of the reform candidates
aim for the good of Hawaiians. Re-
curing man to earn six hundred
dollars year, in order to vote for
Mobiles, would urge the natives to
industry, and they can easily earn
that much. Some people in seeking
the peoples support speak for their
own benefit, and are willing to sacri-
flee the people to satisfy the lust
for spoils, but he (the speaker)
sincerely hoped the natives would
ignore such speeches.
Mr.. J. l. Dowsett, Jr., candidate
on the Representative ticket, spoke
at some length in Hawaiian, and
briefly in English. He stated that
he and those associated with him on
the ticket were not takers on an
occasion like that, but they claimed
to be workers. He would say, how
ever, that the Reform platform, laid
down by the Nominating Conven-
ton, was good, and he was in hearty
sympathy with it. He was q native
of the country, as were his parents
before him, and his interest, as well
as that of every elector, was in
maintaining different state of
affairs from what we had all had to
endure for the past few years, and
he certainly would exert himself to
the utmost in the cause of reform.
Mr.. Henry Warehouse, candidate
for Noble on the reform ticket, said
in English that the islands are capa-
bic of managing their own affairs
and he would therefore always con-
tend for their independence. He
then spoke In Hawaiian, reviewing
recent history, and illustrating the
difference between the past and
present.
The Chairman then called upon
Mr.. j. i. Smith, from Ward g.,
comparing him to a bull-frog that
was so distended by internal pres
sure that unless an opportunity was
allowed for him to "blow off," there
was danger of his bursting. The
sequel showed there was truth in
the intimation of Guinness" for
Mr.. Smith came forward and deliver
ed an animated speech, about as
follows:--
There is an old adage which says !:
'"rhe proof of pudding is in eat
ing it," And | say gentlemen, the
proof of the honor, integrity and
intentions Of man or any setof men
lies not in what they say, not in
what they tell us, and not in idle
promises but in their attitude and
actions. You may be deceived by
